Representing Child Victims of Sexual Abuse in Kern County

Some of the most difficult cases we handle involve children who were harmed by the very people and institutions entrusted to protect them—teachers, coaches, youth leaders, and those responsible for their care in schools and juvenile facilities here in Kern County. We represent child victims and their families with the sensitivity these cases demand, working to hold both individual abusers and the organizations that enabled them fully accountable. California law also gives survivors of childhood sexual abuse far more time to come forward than most people realize, so it is never too late to explore your options. Whether the abuse happened recently or years ago, we handle every case with complete confidentiality and compassion, guiding families through the civil justice process while pursuing the compensation a child deserves for their medical care, counseling, and the lasting emotional toll of what they endured.

We Are Committed to Addressing This Growing Problem

At Chain | Cohn | Clark, we don’t back away from difficult cases, especially when victims have been harmed by people they should have been able to trust.
